The Wizard has decided to make this more for just his local watering hole and house of harlots so all ideas are welcome. I shall take this into consderation as it would be cheaper than the Entomb tome

Mean!!! I like it!
Pithing Needle in the sideboard for card:Tormod's Crypt. You could use some bounce ala Into the Roil and such for Rest in Peace , Ground Seal , and card:Grafdigger's Cage.

The Wizard is also quite fond of the build. For I have not made a sideboard until I plan to take my steed to another session of master wizards. My favorite here is It That Betrays . A powerful tome indeed

Considering Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur would probably be in you favor, as a well timed reanimation on that can be game ending most of the time.

Wise words fellow caster. A considered tome at first, but now hath made its way forth

Sheoldred, Whispering One might be worth considering--it also slows down your opponent as well as speeding you up.

Nice suggestion younger caster, for she was included in the original build but proved to be not a strong as I would have hoped. Jin-Gitaxias, Core Augur has been a more powerful tome at disrupting foolish wizards that challenge me

I run a very similar deck Necromancer Adept our spells are a bit different, but thats a little bit of a preference. Things I can suggest though...for land, I would run some Misty Rainforest s I run a little heavier blue then you do, but I think that you may benefit by having a little more island seeking in here. Besides that, I would urge you to vary up you creature board a little more. there are two problems you will run into with such a large number of the same creature. 1) the vintage format is pretty much built around fighting reanimator decks. you will be going against a lot of Extirpate or even Surgical Extraction and you do not want that one spell they play to take our half your creature board (I would also recommend more counter spells, but thats just play style) 2) reanimator archtype gives you so many possible options to deal with any possible problem you could deal with. The more variety, they more problems you can address. I used to run It That Betrays but I have found that by switching things up, I have had a lot more luck in dealing with a wide array of opponents. Blazing Archon shuts down most goblin/suprise attack/elf decks (all major players in the vintage format) While something like Angel of Despair or Ashen Rider can act as great spot control to take out what problems get through. These are just suggestions.....oh...also, Inkwell Leviathan is op as hell against jund and bant midranged decks

Very cool deck. How do you handle having so few land though?

Lotus Petal is very helpful caster. I am able to dig efficiently as well to not only fill my graveyard but find land as we'll. Brainstorm , Careful Study , and Ponder do well. Dark Ritual is also quite helpful

Very solid. And well built too. So draw compensates for mana in the deck. Cool cool

Cabal Therapy would be interesting to play. It has the potential to get you any of your creatures turn 1, provided you have what you need.
Basically: Play a swamp, then Dark Ritual . Use 1 mana for Cabal Therapy and name a creature, say, It That Betrays . Target yourself and discard it. Then use the last 2 mana for Exhume . Have fun.
Of course it may be too unreliable for competitive play, but it's always an idea.
